Build the Future With a Custom Home for the Ages: Function and Performance
Life is full of unpredictable events, unforeseen changes, and exceptional surprises. When things get chaotic, our home is the place where we seek refuge. A home is central to so much of your daily life. It’s there when you wake up, it dictates how your family interacts, decides the atmosphere during family dinners, gives you peace and quiet after work, and maybe even treats you to a warm welcome every time you walk in the door. Choosing a floor plan that accommodates your lifestyle is a way to reach into the future and have some degree of control of how you want to live your day-to-day life. And if there is anything that the year 2020 has taught us is that we don’t have a lot of control over a whole lot of things. With a Cullers Home, you have control over the design and space of your home. As millions of Americans found themselves confined to their home during the pandemic, they discovered that the comfort and performance of their home took on a whole different meaning.
What Our Homes Say About The Way We Live
A deep dive into contemporary custom home building will reveal a lot about a culture and what an entire generation of homeowners is looking for in their humble dwellings. There is a theme that runs across what homeowners are looking for in the 21st century and much of that has to do with a focus on functionality and performance. Today’s family has high expectations of their home: it should be comfortable and functional, it should aspire and inspire, it should have open but also intimate spaces. They are in search of a home that is built with high-quality materials, compliments the environment, and is both stylish and energy-efficient. Here at Cullers Homes, we know that your priorities as a homeowner are finding the balance between beauty, luxury, and functionality and performance. So what are some of the things we implement in our custom and newly built homes?
If you look at one of our news floorplans, the Toluca floor plan, you will notice that this plan showcases a couple of unique design characteristics. We have talked in previous blogs about some of the 21st century’s more in-demand home features, so let’s talk about those that stand out among the Cullers design.
A Foyer
It might not be the feature you hear discussed everyday, but boy can it make a difference to the entire atmosphere of your home! A foyer or elegant entryway that immerses your visitors into the rest of your home. The word ‘foyer’ comes from the French word meaning ‘hearth’ or ‘lobby.’ This is an area designated to welcome guests and is usually thought of as the entryway into your home. In some of our floor plans, we put great care into the design and spatial dimensions of this entryway, as we understand that it plays an important role in how people feel when they first enter your home.
Open & Shared Spaces
If you take a 3-D tour of our Toluca floorplans or other plans, you’ll find that one of the things we excel at is designing a home that has wide-open spaces. Having the kitchen bleed into the dining room and into the living room is one way to encourage a communal and shared space. One design element is choosing an elegant floor that is shared throughout as a way to tie the space together. A kitchen island is a great space-saving feature that also serves as a connection between the two spaces. Today’s modern family has a few blurred lines when it comes to work, play, recreation, and entertainment. Having wider entryways and one style of floor tying rooms together is one way to create an inviting space that can be shared with multiple activities.
A Master Bathroom of High Comfort
Take a look at one of our master bathroom designs. Not only do we offer a sleek design with symmetrical lines and spacing but it offers the opportunity to leave the chaos of the workday and submerge yourself in the comfort of your own personal space. With a marble white finish, a long and spacious vanity, a bathtub, and private shower, you can wash off the demands of the day and sink into a relaxing time. The modern home utilizes open and shared spaces in the living and dining areas and understands the value of privacy and enclosed areas in others.
